Yamaha XSR125 2025

Yamaha XSR125 2025

The XSR125 may look retro, but it is highly modern. After all, the 125cc engine even has variable valves! This makes it possible to achieve decent riding dynamics, as the handling is also very successful in combination with the comparatively low weight. Yet operation is generally very simple and uncomplicated, which is why even novice riders and beginners are not overwhelmed. The price is also okay, although at first glance it seems quite high compared to the power, but is usually even higher among the competition. The successful retro look alone is definitely worth wanting the XSR125!

Proven and agile engine from the MT-125

pleasantly upright riding position

beautiful retro design

high-quality workmanship

good price-performance ratio

low fuel consumption

very low weight

Front brakes should be a little sharper

Kawasaki Eliminator 500 2025

Kawasaki Eliminator 500 2025

The Kawasaki Eliminator 500 is a successful bike in a competitive price segment. The latest addition from the green brand offers easy handling and riding pleasure at an attractive price. Beginners, returning riders and smart bikers will all enjoy this urban cruiser. In my opinion, the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 could achieve cult status.

Handling, despite low ground clearance, an attack the twisties

Engine, good torque

Weight, 167 kg

Gearbox, excellent shifting

Seating position, comfortably neutral Driving licence class A2

Rear-view mirror, stylish but hardly any visibility to the rear tyres, IRC spongy, gives hardly any feedback
